CONTRIBUTED CONTENT — A name in senior living that Southern Utah families have known and trusted for decades, The Meadows at Escalante recently changed ownership and is welcoming new residents to see everything the community has to offer.
Nestled in the heart of downtown St. George and surrounded by gorgeous mountain views, The Meadows at Escalante is a senior living community specializing in assisted living along with memory care. The community strives to provide quality service for all residents and their unique, individual needs so they can live their lives with vibrancy and dignity.
“Living here feels like home,” sales and marketing director Kyle Yardley said. “It’s friendly, and our care team treats you like family.”
The Meadows at Escalante offers a comfortable, cozy environment with 120 assisted living apartments and 48 memory care apartments. The campus features a library, fitness center, movie theater and large outdoor courtyard areas with fountains and plenty of seating. Just minutes away from the hospital, medical offices and shopping, Yardley said the location can’t be beat.
Assisted living residents take part in Vibrant Life, an innovative program that allows each person to create their own schedule based on their unique interests, preferences, routines and abilities. Thoughtfully designed to connect residents with family, friends and the community, Vibrant Life both inspires and challenges. The Meadows at Escalante meets residents where they are on their wellness journey and encourages them to choose their own path by getting involved in activities that interest them to stay fit, happy and healthy.
Residents enjoy the Elevate dining program, an enhanced culinary experience that integrates fresh cooking with their favorite homestyle meals. The Meadows at Escalante can accommodate virtually any dietary requirement or restriction, including special diets to help manage conditions such as hypertension, heart disease or diabetes. The chef-created menus are certified by a registered dietitian to guarantee the nutritional integrity of each dish.
The Meadows at Escalante offers Generations memory care for residents living with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Generations follows the philosophy of a person-centric culture where every resident is viewed as the person they were and still are, not identified by their disease or behaviors. The program encourages independence, supports each resident’s strengths and capabilities and assists them with their needs in a loving, dignified manner.
“Memory care is important, and it’s difficult,” Yardley said. “We hope to be the place to help your loved one through the process.”
Generations is a relatively new addition to The Meadows at Escalante. The memory care facility was built about five years ago and features bright, roomy living spaces, a beauty salon and 24/7 access to care staff. Residents participate in daily life activities including music, art and pet therapy.
In recent months, the new ownership has invested in updating the buildings and apartments along with offering new activity options. Residents just arriving to The Meadows at Escalante will enjoy renovated accommodations with a modern feel.
Right now, assisted living apartments start at $2,550 per month. Pricing includes all meals, transportation, housekeeping, utilities and maintenance. Yardley encourages prospective residents and their families to use the cost comparison worksheet provided by The Meadows at Escalante to see how much they could save by living in a senior community vs. living at home.
“If you thought the cost of moving into a senior living community was out of reach, you might be surprised at how reasonable it is,” he said. “We’re very budget-friendly, especially for St. George.”
The Meadows at Escalante has been a staple of senior living in Southern Utah for over 30 years. People search out the community because it’s the place their loved ones stayed, Yardley said, and they remember it fondly.
“Grandma and Grandpa used to live here, and now Mom and Dad are old enough to need assistance and they want the same experience,” he added. “That’s comforting when we meet families.”
